> My sending computer is named cruncher and is on domain "domain.com". It Well, that sounds like your problem. First of all, your computer is connecting to Verizon claiming to be "cruncher.home", which is not a valid domain name, therefore Verizon is denying you. Secondly, I doubt very much that you own the domain name "domain.com". Seriously, don't invent cute-sounding domain names. That's what spammers do, and that is what Verizon will assume you to be. Thirdly, your swaks test is not sending authentication details. Once you get a swaks test working, you will be able to look at Exim's configuration in more detail. - -jim -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkygVuEACgkQk3SCzcmCBgW4ZQCfQ1RNFSehMsQTigCtq9HxWHXx 6uwAn17BCfhUJmlwQibdYBXMwPXTKS5p =zw2n -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
